The summary from before our checks changed
This apartment is priced at $5,600/month, which is 42% above the neighborhood median of $3,950 for comparable units, a significant premium you'll want to justify by confirming at the viewing whether the finishes, layout, and condition of the 1,128-square-foot space warrant that difference. The building dates to 1901 and currently has 3 open HPD violations, including 1 Class C violation (the most serious category, typically requiring immediate correction for health or safety hazards), so ask the landlord or agent for specifics on what the violations are and when repairs are scheduled. Heat complaint history wasn't available in the data, which is worth asking about directly given the building's age and the importance of reliable heating in older Brooklyn walk-ups. The listing doesn't confirm whether laundry is in-unit or in-building, whether pets are allowed, or whether the unit is rent-stabilized, all details to clarify before signing. With an availability date of October 2026, this appears to be a future listing, so verify the timeline and whether any renovations are planned between now and move-in.
